A COUNTRY NEWSPAPER FOR THE MASSES—DEVOTED TO CIVILIZATION AND MONEY-MAKING.
TALBOTTON, TALBOT COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1878.
For Her Sako
Only a miner and his sweetheart.
He in his eveiy-day fustain clothes,
she in her simple calico gown, with
but a knot of ribbon at her throat—
he living nil the bright, sunshiny
day where the brightest rays might
never pierce, so deep is lie in tho
bowels of the earth; she, the dangh
ter of a miner like himself, for
whom with her own hands she pre
pared the noonday meal, or set his
home in order for his coming; hilt,
for all that, the story to which sho
had been listening was none tho less
sweet, and Tom Wilcox felt his
heart beat as it had never throbbed
in face of any danger,when lie looked
down into Ray Bernard’s shy brown
eyes, which, raised fi r one brief in
stant to his face, flashed forth their
cherished secret, then stooped and
sealed it on their lips with Cupid’s
seal. The moon laughed and tho
stars twinkled- It was such an old,
old story to them, but it was full of
honest truth, even though the sim
ple little brown cottage formed tho
background, and the low breezes
whispering through the trees were
their own witnesses. What if they
repeated the secret in every clime?
No one could understand their lan -
guage save the trees, and they were
ever silent. But suddenly a cloud
hid the pule moon from then - sight,
and somehow it seemed reflected on
tho girl’s faco ns with sudden
courage she clasped her hands about
her lover’s arm.
j ‘Don’t go down into tho mine tos
morrow, Tom,’ sho said. ‘I feel as
if something were going to hap
j pets’
‘Why, little one, ho laughed,
‘such fancies as these don’t do for a
miner’s wife. You forgot [growing
serious] I havo a safeguard now
which f have never lmd before—l he
safeguard of your love, or rather its
most precious knowledge. Don’t
worry, lassie. We’ve work at the
now hall to morrow and it would he
ns much as my place is worth for mo
to be missing.’
Rut tho ,oirl ehivevod even in the
warm summer evening, and the
hands clung more tightly to his
arm.
‘I can’t help it, Tom,’ she nn
swerod,‘l never felt so be'ore; but
try ns I will I can’t shake off the
feeling.’
‘We will laugh over it together
t t-rnorrow evening, when—’ and In
stooped and whispered something
very low in her ear—a something
which brought the blood tiding once
more to her very temples. ‘I can’t
wait long you know,’ he said, aloud
‘Your father roust be looking out
for another house keeper. Rav, my
darling, life has just begun for me.
God grant I may make you as hap
py as you deserve 1’
And with his fond good night
kiss ho left her.
With folded arms, resting on the
■wicket gate, she watched the tall,
stalwart form until it disappeared
from sight, with as ranch pride in
is manly grace and strength as if
he were a king who had offered her
his kingdom, and she a princess
worthy of a royal dower. Then the
last echo of his footsteps died away,
and, with a. happy, tremulous sigh,
she turned to enter the house; but
by her very side a dark figure star
ted up. The girl uttered a faint
scream. Then the moon emerged j
from her hiding place and disclosed j
the man’s face. Strangely white it
,'Hiked, thought Ray, as sho Raid:
‘Why Jack! How you startled]
me 1 Where did you come from ?’ I
‘l’ve not been f.;r away for tho
past hour,’ was the surly reply.
‘Eavesdropping, eh 1’ asserted
Rav, with sudden scorn. ‘I trust
you wete repaid.’
‘Not if the old adage be true as to
listeners hearing no good of them
selves. You’d no time to make
mention of my name, you and your
lover. What was it he whispered in
your ear? Was it to name the day?
Answer me !’ grasping her arm in
his passion.
‘And by what right do you ques
tion ?’ exclaimed tho girl,wrenching
her arm from his touch.
‘The right of love 1 Have I not
loved yon from your babyhood ?
Were not tho first nuts, the first
wild flowers, the first berries laid at
your feet as boyish trophies of suer
cess, your smile the highest reward?
It was for these—for this I have
loved yon all these years!’
‘Jack, I am sorry’—and Ray’s
voice grew soft; ‘but it is through
no fault of mine. I thought yon
loved me as a brother, and gave
you a bister’a affection in return.
Xinr will soon get over this disap
pointment.’
'Men don’t get over wounds that
strike to the heart. It is only wo
men who can do that, since no steel,
however sharp, can penotrato their
hearts. I don’t want your pity—
givo it to the man to whom you have
given your love. He may yet need
it if ho evosses my path.’
‘Jack, hush 1’ exclaimed the girl;
‘you do not mean those words.
Havo I not veeu you step aside
rather than tread upon a worm, to
crush out a life God-given ?’
‘Aye—but let the serpent rear its
head across my way, and see how
quickly I will grind its venomous
head beneath my heel 1’
‘Yes, Jack, but Tom Wilcox has
never done you wrong.’
Tho man laughed.
‘He has entered my house and
robbed mo of tho one thing my soul
prized—has despoiled mo of my all!
Down not punish those who steal
from us ?‘
‘Not if they etenl that which is
their own. I know you, Jack. bet.
ter than you know yourself, and
know the noble heart which you
cover to-night with so false a mask.
Remember Jack—you say you love
me. I love Tom Wilcox. Whate'er
you do to him you do to mo. His
is tho shrine which holds my hoart,
eveD as hix is here.' striking her
breast. Then, with a low good
night, a swift touch of her baud,she
left him to his own gloomy
thoughts.
* * * * * *
Six men busy at work—a little
group apart from the others—on the
new hall in tho mine. It was a
strange sound which suddenly made
each man throw down his tool and
start with white faces to their feet
—the sound of a cherry whistle
echoing through the silent, vault
like place.
‘Hush, man ! are you mad,‘ said
one, ‘to whistle in the mine ? Don't
you know it has never yet failed to
j bring swift punishment T
‘Nonsense, hoys, 1 laughed Tom,
I tho c,ir..|,der. in answer. ‘That's uii
old superstition, fit for crooning
hags by the fireside. An houest
whistle can do no man harm. Bis
ten !‘ And or.ee again (he cheery
sound rang out—this time tho whis-
I tier's feet keeping time. “Ah, if
you were happy ns I am, you'd
nhistle too, since I‘ve won the pret
iji st luss in all the village for my
bride.
On one listener's face theso words
brought blackest frown; but he
sternly kept his white lips together,
and ..as mute none noticing the
instant start, the half-clenched
hand, but none had time to answer,
for, as though far off, camo a dull,
heavy sound they' knew too well.
One moment they looked with
blanched faces upon each other,then
followi and a crash. The wall had
fallen and hemmed them in their
living tomb. In the darkness rose
cries of vengeance and curses upon
him who had bronght the curse
home to them.
‘Let us find him,’ thoy cried,
groping in the darkness—‘he who
dared whistle the evil spirits to do
their work !’
‘But, singular to say, he, the in
strument of their vengeance, was the
one who lmd fallen helpless and dis
abled, and lay half unconscious un
der a heap of stones.
Jack Howard was the first to find
him. Why, then, did he not de
nounce him ? Ouce more his hand
clenched, his face darkened, but a
girl’s white, pleading face seemed to
rise up out of the darkness, and
quietly ho took his stand in front of
the prostrate form.
‘Wo will kill him!’ shouted the
men. ‘Perhaps then we can appease
the wrath of the spirits of tho mine,
and they will show us some way out,
or keep life in our bodies till they
dig for us. Ah, here he is I’ starting
forward as one stumbled over him
for whom they sought.
‘Back, men 1’ Would you do mur
•der ?’ shouted a voice. ‘Has not the
old wall threatened danger for many
a day, that you should suppose a
man’s whistle could cause it to come
tumbling about our ears?’
‘He put the spirits to work !’ said
one. ‘lt’s never failed yet. We’ll
give him to thorn 0 one of them.
tNot unless yqu give me, tool’
said Jack his face growing very
white, and the words rushing from
his lips as thougn’he could not re
press thorn. ‘He can’t defend him
self. It’s only a coward who will
strike a helpless man.’
j The men paused, with a flush of
thame, while their hands sank quiet-
ly to tlioir sides, and Jack Howard
know his defence had proved good.
So the long, weary hours dragged
themsilvcs along, each man busy
with his own thoughts; some thinks
iug ol the wife and bairns who wait
ed thoii return; some, tho mother
timi sweetheart. Occasionally would
sound I dull, rumbling noise, draw
ing nearer, and unless rescue soon
reached them, all knew tho wall sur
rounding them would soon give way’.
They knew not whether it were day
or night, or, save by the pangs of
hunger and thirst already assailing
them, how long they had been en
tombed, when hope rose once more
in their breasts, as, faint and distant
came a human voice. With one ac
cord they answered it, and grasping
their tools with now earnestness, fell
to work to meet, those digging their
slow way toward them. Ah, the ec
stacy of the moment when the first
ray of light ponetratod their dark
ness!
‘Mo dare dig no more 1’ shoutod a
voic. ‘One by one yon must enter,
crawling through this hole. There
is room but for five on the shaft.
How many of you are there ?’
Slcntly they conntod. Thoy woro
six.
‘Jo need for lots,’ asserted one
‘W will leave the whistler. He is al
nio A gone, anyway. Thoy can come
b ick lor him if there’s time.’
So thoy decided, and one by one
crailod through tho narrow space.
Jack Howard came last. He cast
oe look upon the silent, death-like
place, tho silent, death-liko lorm,
while Ray Bernard's words stood
wrftten iu letters of fire in tho black
ness:
‘Whate’er you do to him you do
U me.’
Then lie turned back, and raised
(fin prostrate form, and whispering
|n his ear; ‘Tell her I kept sacred
tlio shrine which held her heart, anil
Aid it for her sake,’ ho dragged him
as best he could to the aperture.
‘Lend a hand, boys 1’ lie shouted.
‘We’ll send Tom up first. He has a
sweetheart waiting. I— havo no
ooe.’
Tbero was no nmo ij j
answering, ‘courage, Jack, we’ll soon
he back for you !’ they obeyed him.
So Jack went back to his doom.
It was a glimpse of Edon to the
men—who thought themselves shot
oit from it forever—as once more
thoy saw the green fields and the
sunlight, while weeping women and
ciildren clung, sobbing, to their
kites. But they suddenly grow
weak and tender as a giea l
crash smote on their ears, and they
knew that Jack Howard had expiated
bis sacrifice with his life.
Like a faint dream, tho words
whispered in his ear camo to Tom
Wilcox as Ra v nursed him back to
health and strength, and wondoring
ly ho repeated them to her. Then,
os though unvailing some sacred
thing, with sobbing breath she told
him why Jack Howard had done this
thing. How great, how true an act
of heroism was his, even though no
marble shaft nor sculptured urn re
cord it.

Some Facts to Kenn-nilier
About the Sun.
The sun is 320,000 times as large
as this earth.
Tho sun is 400 times as far off ns
the moon.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
here would weigh 2,700 pounds if on
the surface of the sun.
Tho heat given off by the sun
would melt 287,200,000 cubic miles
of ice ovory second.
The diameter of the earth bears
the same relation to its distance
from the sun ns tho breadth of a
hair to 125 feet.
A railroad car travelling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an
hour would get to tho sun in 203
years.
The snn is believed to become
some 250 feet smaller every year,
this contraction would bo sufficient
to generate the enormous quantity
of heat which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
moteoric matter filling into tho sun
may b i its ailment to offset the tre
mendous loss which combustion cer
tainly involves.
it would require tiio combustion
of thirty feet of coal over the entire
surface of tho sun every second to
generate the same heat.
Tho stars are supposed to average
larger than our sun and to have
planetary systems like his.
The nearest star is 250,000 times
as far off as our sun.
It takes light eight minutes to
come from the sun, but it must have
required 40,000 yours to coma from
tho furtherest visible stars.
When the eleven year storms on
the snn occur, tho magnetic noodle
on the earth is variable and some u
times considerably detected.
Tho earth is flying around the sun
at tho rate of 1,000 miles a minute.
The sun anil all the stars are mov
ing through the space, accompanied
by their planetary system, at a rate
varying from 20 to 200 miles a sec
ond.
Some of tho sun-spots (craters)
are 100,000 miles in diainter, and
one ot them would easily swallow up
the whole of the planets, Jupiter
himself only maxing a unrauuiui.
Maedler’s curious and brilliant
speculation is that tho star Alcyone
is the coutral sun of our universe,
and that our sun and the visible
stars are swinging around it, in or
bits measured by millions of years.
